“No, how did it happen?”
“I was hurrying because I thought it was late. Da On said he would come home early today, but I completely forgot. Sorry.”
“Why are you apologizing to me? Wasn’t it troublesome for Seon Woo ssi?”
“No! Not at all. I’m fine, I had nothing much to do.”
He smiled his kindhearted smile again. It made her feel more sorry.
“Mom…?”
“Oh, did our puppy wake up?”
“Mom!”
Eun Jo quickly ran over and tightly embraced Da On, who had dashed to her.
“Liar!”
The child rubbed her face against her chest, looking as if she might cry at any moment.
“I’m sorry. But I told you I was working, didn’t I? Our puppy understands everything so smartly and then does this again.”
“I missed you. Sunshine.”
Her lips and round cheeks adorably twitched as if she was trying hard not to cry.
She seemed to have grown in the few days Eun Jo hadn’t seen her Eun Jo once again held the child close in her arms.
Soon, Min Ah fell asleep.
“I was really surprised, I will go eat something with Da On. You stay here.”
Seon Woo pushed Eun Jo’s back, which had become half as wide in the meantime.
.
.
Watching Da On enjoy her Castella with whipped cream and milk, Eun Jo seemed to make up her mind and picked up her mobile phone.
[I think I won’t be able to come in for a while. Something came up at home.]
After a long while, either a response would come or a call would immediately follow the moment she swallowed her dry saliva in anticipation, the response came right away.
[What are you talking about. I don’t want to hear it, you have to come even if the world splits in two.]
Indeed, it was a quick and concise response.
Well, if that’s the case Eun Jo wiped the milk from Da On’s mouth, who had just finished her milk.
“Cutie, shall we go?”
“Where? Are we going home?”
“Yes, home.”
A very, very good home where Mom worked.
“Wow! It’s really nice!”
She knows what’s good even at a young age.
“Let’s wash our hands first! If you play, mom will make something for you to eat.”
“Yes!”
Eun Jo placed Da On’s belongings that she had simply gathered from home in her room. No, in someone else’s extravagant room.
And she started to make a simple dinner for the child.
Not feeling particularly motivated to cook anything complicated given the mood and the situation, she thought of making a mushroom omelet over rice for dinner.
She prepared a generous amount considering the landlord might also want to eat.
Stepping into the house, Jae Ha unwittingly smiled.
The salty and sweet smell caused saliva to pool in his mouth.
How good it was to listen to each other like this, and to have peace…
“Nyaahhh! Huh? Who are you?”
Like a ball rolling a small human being rolled from somewhere and was looking up at me.
“……”
“Who are you! Mommy!”
Mommy?
Come to think of it, this kid
“Are you here? Da On, you should greet.”
Hello. There was no sign of welcoming in Da On’s voice, who somehow knew I was not a friend.
He simply bowed mechanically at the waist in greeting.
His clear eyes, usually full of energy and cuteness, were filled with suspicion and caution.
“Yun Eun Jo, you……”
Eun Jo glared at Jae Ha, who looked as if he was seeing an alien life form.
“I told you I had something at home, didn’t I? You remember Min Ah, my sister, right? Min Ah’s waist is in a bad condition, but I came in like this.”
“……”
“Are you scared? Then I’ll leave right now.”
“……wait a moment.”
The almighty Kwon Jae Ha was asking for time.
With her eyes narrowed silently, Eun Jo stroked the head of the child clinging to her side.
Kwon Jae Ha, a bigbodied kid.
Need to comfort and soothe.
“Dinner? If it’s still early, I’ll prepare something even if I have to go. It’s not much, though.”
“I’m good. Just give me a glass of water.”
His eyes didn’t leave the small human being sticking to the moving Eun Jo.
At one moment, the little guy stuck out his tongue and gave a taunting gesture.
Huh.
This was a challenging situation Jae Ha, pulling his tie knot, was perplexed by a conflict he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
Kwon Jae Ha, who didn’t hesitate for 10 seconds to spend 36 billion won to acquire a stake in the Korean business department of the milk tea franchise ‘Black Chai’ just before leaving work.
“Here.”
“……”
He downed the cold water in the crystal glass in one go. And barely detached his lips.
Politely, courteously, as he had learned from his father, Sean.
“Did you get hurt a lot?”
“No, just a minor stumble. Thanks for asking.”
That’s a relief Jae Ha, who handed the empty glass back to Eun Jo, glanced at the small human still sticking by her side and turned his back on him right away.
“I’ll go change my clothes.”
[Mommy, that man isn’t daddy, right? Huh? I don’t like that man!]
The small human’s sweet voice hit the back of his head.
.
.
In the end, Jae Ha did not go back down to the first floor.
He had no intention of seeing off Eun Jo and her child, and he didn’t want to eat dinner.
No, perhaps it’s most accurate to say he had no thoughts at all.
Just as before, as always at this time.
He opened his laptop and started working again.
He closely and meticulously observed the constantly evolving flow of the financial market.
In order to understand investment techniques that are evolving too quickly to be easily understood, he couldn’t miss even a single small number.
In search of a unique investment technique.
No, to sniff out the smell of money faster than anyone else,
He concentrates relentlessly, day and night.
Like a dog trying not to have his food bowl snatched away.
“……”
What about their night, just a few steps away?
Slowly rising from his seat, Jae Ha moved towards the door.

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
